How Massive Star Clusters Form and Evolve: A Near-IR Survey of the W51 Complex

The Astronomical Journal
We present near-infrared JHK _s and narrowband H _2 (1–0) photometric observations of the W51A region, obtained with GTC EMIR, aiming to characterize its young stellar population, and provide mass estimates for individual cluster members and the ...

Exoplanet Research with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)

, 2017
When the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) was conceived and its first science cases defined, exoplanets had not been detected. Later studies, however, showed that optical and near-infrared photometric and spectrophotometric follow-

Search for low-mass PMS companions around X-ray selected late B stars [PDF]

, 2001
We have observed 49 X-ray detected bright late B-type dwarfs to search for close low-mass pre-main sequence (PMS) companions using the European Southern Observatory's ADONIS (Adaptive Optics Near Infrared System) instrument.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

Hydration Features on Near-Earth Objects: Integrating New Data with Prior Results

The Planetary Science Journal
Near-Earth objects (NEOs) are excellent laboratories for testing processes that affect airless bodies, as well as informing us about solar system history. Though most NEOs are nominally anhydrous because they formed inside the solar system frost line and

Flexible and High‐Performance Perovskite‐Polymer Composites for Dual X‐Ray and Proton Direct Detection

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A polymer–perovskite composite obtained by mechanochemical synthesis enables thick, tunable active layers for efficient absorption of highly penetrating ionizing radiation. Vertical‐electrode detectors achieve low X‐ray detection limits and high sensitivity direct 5 MeV proton sensing.

Direct Photocurrent Detection of Optical Vortex Based on the Orbital Photo Galvanic Effect: Progress, Challenge, and Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Direct orbital angular momentum (OAM) detection through the orbital photogalvanic effect offers a scalable route for integrated optoelectronics. This perspective evaluates symmetry‐driven material selection and demonstrates how electrode matrices enable the resolution of complex, mixed OAM modes.

High Angular Resolution Stellar Imaging with Occultations from the Cassini Spacecraft I: Observational Technique

, 2013
We present novel observations utilising the Cassini spacecraft to conduct an observing campaign for stellar astronomy from a vantage point in the outer solar system. By exploiting occultation events in which Mira passed behind the Saturnian ring plane as
